[edit] Trivia

Deceit is set on the planet Arcadia. The 2006 series episode "Doomsday" mentions that Arcadia was on the front lines of the Time War, although it is not clear if this refers to the planet featured in this novel.

Captain John's "lover," who appears in the puzzle-box hologram, is said by John to have owned an Arcadian diamond in the Torchwood series 2 premire, Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang.
